介绍（中）	这个镜框的图像和雕刻风格表明，它是在受到南部瓦里文化影响时由北部奇穆人制作的。方形框架由一块细粒木材雕刻而成，展示了一个站在轻木木筏上的人形。木筏的船头和船尾都有尖牙的动物头像，可能是神话中的动物头像。这个人物戴着羽毛头饰，腰带/缠腰带以动物头结尾，右手拿着一把tumi（仪式刀），左手拿着一根战争球杆。这把刀的分瓣手柄上装饰着同样的变焦头。一个令人费解的特征是从人物的嘴上伸出的长L形突起，位于怪诞的延伸鼻子下方。船的场景是Chimú艺术中经常出现的主题；它出现在纺织品、陶瓷、金属制品和建筑浮雕上。它反映了海洋和海洋活动对Chimú的重要性。这个框架可能曾经覆盖着一层薄薄的金或银，上面附着着微小的银钉，其中许多仍然存在四个立体的宽脸头像从框架中向上延伸。雕刻有相当多的细节和自然主义，在风格上与瓦里雕刻传统有关。眼睛和头带最初可能镶嵌着半宝石和/或贝壳。框架的背面中央有一个浅圆形的镜子空腔，可能是由黄铁矿、无烟煤或黑云母制成的。它现在不见了。
介绍（英）	The imagery and carving style of this mirror frame suggest that it was made by the northern Chimú people when influences from the southern Wari culture were present. Carved from a single piece of fine-grained wood, the square frame shows a profile human figure standing on a balsa raft. The raft is zoomorphic with fanged profile animal heads—possibly mythological—at its prow and stern. The figure, with plumed headdress and a belt/loincloth ending in animal heads, holds a tumi (ceremonial knife) in his right hand and a war club in his left. The split handle of the knife is decorated with the same zoomorphic heads. A puzzling feature is the long L-shaped projection emanating from the figure's mouth below the grotesque extended nose. The boat scene is a frequent theme in Chimú art; it appears on textiles, ceramics, metalwork, and architectural reliefs. It reflects the importance of the sea and maritime activity to the Chimú. The frame was probably once covered with thin sheet gold or silver attached with tiny silver nails, many of which remain. Four three-dimensional broad-faced heads extend up from the frame. Carved with considerable detail and naturalism, stylistically they relate to the Wari sculpting tradition. The eyes and headbands originally were inlaid possibly with semiprecious stone and/or shell. The back of the frame has a shallow round cavity in the center for the mirror, probably made of pyrite, anthracite, or obsidian. It is now missing.
